The West End Food Co-operative (WEFC) is a nonprofit multi-stakeholder food co-operative – with consumer, worker, producer, and community partner members. WEFC is committed to the development of community food culture in Toronto’s West End, and acts as a catalyst for local food security. This is accomplished through coordinating community driven food initiatives, such as the ongoing Sorauren Farmers’ Market, Parkdale community food mapping, and the new Parkdale Processing Project.

WEFC is in the midst of a community fundraising campaign to raise money for a retail food store. This future store will feature local, organic and fair trade products, and focus on creating local food security while providing employment with a liveable wage model.  More details on the campaign are available on our contribution page.
